MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / January 2004Contact group error message
When I try to open one of my groups in the Contacts folder I get "Out of memory or system resources". Other groups in the folder open with no problem. Individual contacts work just fine as well. I don't know of (or haven't been able to find) any limits on the size of a contact group, but this one is quite large and could be over the limit. If it is, how do I reduce it since I can't open it? Also, what is the limit and where do I find it? Thank you, Bob Peticolas Since Outlook does not use groups, I'm not sure what you mean.

Then this would have nothing to do with the size of the DL. Most likely your DL is corrupt.

Is there another program for cleaning up contact lists? bob >-----Original Message----- >Then this would have nothing to do with the size of the DL.

I've always found DL's to be very fragile and buggy. I abandoned them long ago in favor of Categories or Contacts subfolders. SignatureRuss Valentine [MVP-Outlook] > OK, I figured as much.
